Critical Listening Education in Sound Engineering: Theories and Strategies for Segmented Learning (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781032786803)

Critical Listening Education in Sound Engineering: Theories and Strategies for Segmented Learning provides structured guidance for understanding and teaching critical listening within sound engineering and music production education. Addressing the pedagogical gap in the field, this book is a unique, interdisciplinary resource designed to foster a more holistic and effective standard of critical listening education for the modern audio professional.

Offering readers new approaches to instruction that move beyond traditional methods to incorporate vital concepts such as auditory imagery, acoustics, and post-digitalism in a pedagogical context, as well as practical teaching strategies, theoretical insights, and real-world case studies that bridge the gap between technical skills and cognitive science. This book features chapters from leading academics, each exploring unique methodologies like visual graphing, educational sound walks, and project-based learning to de-silo the engineer.

This is an essential resource for educators and researchers in audio engineering and music technology seeking to elevate their curriculum, and students and professionals aiming to develop their perceptual skills.
